I first came to Keele as a PhD student in 2001, leaving in 2005 for a postdoctoral position at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. I then moved to the University of Warwick fr four years before returning to Keele to take up my third postdoctoral position in 2010. I was subsequently awarded an STFC Advanced Fellowship, and became a lecturer at Keele in March 2011.

My research centres on measuring the physical properties of transiting extrasolar planets and eclipsing binary star systems to high precision. I am a member of the SuperWASP Consortium, the world leaders in finding extrasolar planets from ground-based telescopes. I maintain the JKTEBOP code which is used to model the light curves of eclipsing binaries and transiting planets. I also maintain the TEPCat catalogue of all known transiting planets and the DEBCat catalogue of well-studied eclipsing binary stars.
